You know, I understand that my company is getting too big for its building. And I understand that because of that, good offices are at a premium.

I also understand that, because I’m one of the few people who’s not a part of any team, I can sit pretty much anywhere in the building.

I’ve come to expect – about every 8 months or so – getting moved to a new office to accommodate the moves of various teams around the building.

But seriously. Can you at least pretend like you’re asking me to move – pretend that I have a choice in the matter?

This morning a guy came in to my office, told me he was joining the team that I happen to sit next to (and I quote) “you can see where this is going – I’m going to need to move in to your office.”

Great. Thanks.

This is my 8th office in the 6 years I’ve been in this building. I won’t even add the offices I had in the last building.

Honestly, would it be so much to ask that my boss push back a little when people ask him to have me moved? Maybe a little “Sorry, we’ve moved him a lot already; let’s let him sit this one out.”

I guess so.
